Past News Releases

In order to better support the hearing health care requirements of Long Island, East End Hearing has added a hearing aid and hearing loss testimonials section to their website. The new page will include video testimonials and written reviews about hearing aids, hearing loss, tinnitus and other issues that prior and current patients have given permission to be posted. As an alternative, the video testimonies may also be found on YouTube. East End Hearing has captured many patient stories on video for example this one from a couple that both received new hearing aids from East End Hearing.

The addition of these incredibly personal experiences will go a long way toward de-stigmatizing hearing problems by allowing people to see themselves in the accounts of other individuals. Americans with hearing loss need to know that they're not alone in their attempts to find solutions. Solutions including hearing aids are available. Reading the experiences of other local residents on the recently completed reviews page is one step towards building a feeling of community among people with hearing problems.

East End Hearing would like to note that hearing problems have many distinctive underlying causes and people visiting the website should not try to diagnose themselves. Only a competent Long Island audiologist can adequately evaluate symptoms such as ear pain, ringing in the ears or hearing loss. Figuring out the root hearing loss cause generally starts with a hearing test and physical exam of the ears. Don't presume that the solutions featured on the hearing aid testimonials page will be applicable in every case without a personalized assessment.
